The Airy Fairy

I bought myself a birthday present.

An e-course by Brene Brown - it just happened to start on my actual birthdate.

I took it as a sign. (Even though technically - it started the day after because it's based in the states.)

It was exciting, then it started, and it was a bit airy. They like to refer to it as 'wooowoo' sometimes i cringe when Oprah says 'Ah-ha moments'. There are just too many catchphrasey type things.

My pseudo-intellectual ego thingy says- Dear god, seriously? I mean... what the heck did you PAY for this for?

I keep reminding myself that all this resistance is actually the reason for doing something like this, that being uncomfortable is exactly where i need to be to find WHY i do what i do.

I know... even that is airy fairy. Hahaha, but it was an Art Journalling thing. Whaaaat, that's so my kinda thing.

Haha, anyway the first week i struggled with the - Really? is this what it's about? Sheesh. But i did it.

I painted and wrote and took a selfie with the words 'I am imperfect and i am enough.' on my hand.

Haha, and it felt - really silly.

The second week involved finding photos, and since then i've just left it.

I told myself life was getting in the way.

Then i told myself to quit leaving things halfway.

So i sat back down tonight to catch up.

Part of the course asks you to share.

Sharing the self help thing makes me awkward.

Haha i don't like to think of it as self help really... more self-discovery.

But it's awkward.

Anyway, i'll share it soon, when i don't feel so behind.

I invented something really cool. I'll share that soon too.

Today, this was really cool:
